This type of personal attack isn't tolerated here. 

I'd call it an accurate observation, not an attack, but you make the rules.

Personal observations aren't allowed either. Comments need to be kept to the subject.

Would it be OK to say that someone is acting in an ignorant way?

Unnecessary. Discuss the substance of his comments, not the person.

Thank you. I know these things happen :~)

I read many things on this forum for many years. Do not remember anything particularly important or interesting from you. Will try to give more attention, but couldn't promise.

Er I would call this personal observation, as have been other posts! level playing field!

Any sharing of observation is personal... we aren't robots. But there's a big difference between "i don't agree/like what you say" vs " i think you are {pejorative phrase of choice}"

I have already been reprimanded by the Main man, thank you, you don't need to chime in....

But thank you for your concern...

An audiophile could certainly use the high quality SPMS from a mass spec.  And since we already know of at least one person who has a mass spec. yo would merely need to find the location of their lab, and...

Its interesting to note the two people having a go at me on this thread have not read my earlier technical based posts very relevant to the thread and discussion.

I cannot understand this sort of attitude from grown men!

 As usual, you are making assumptions. Just because you post a technical based report does not necessarily make it definitive.

As I said last night, I was closing down the PC .  I was not prepared to go back and check, then reply.

 I have no real disagreement with you in most areas, other than mainly the one with Erin and myself from the DIY Audio days, and more recent comments from people like yourself and Mansr especially about USB cables, and the PSU areas . .

 BTW, I am still in touch with Erin and he recently also confirmed the same reports as the members that I mentioned.

And what's the science behind those "sonic footprints"?

 

If there is some path for interference to impact the analogue areas then there is a possibility that the audio SQ will be degraded - just thinking that this isn't likely isn't good enough ...

 

Trivially easy to check for this in the real world - simply introduce a much higher level of electrical noise making into the environment, until you can easily pick the effect; then back off the level and note whether you can still pick an effect, now that you've "learnt" what the signature is ...

Another daft response...

You have been part of threads in the past where sites such as the one where Kieth Armstrong hangs out and other places where there is practical information so you don't have to delve into the likes of Henry Ott or Ralph Morrison.

Your last statement so much ignorance...

 

What I see as daftness is the belief that gear has been built and sold without any attending measurements as to its robustness against interference factors, is by some magical means going to be good enough.

 

Some use books to indoctrinate themselves about how the world works; others examine how the world works, peruse books to gain insights as to what factors may be relevant; and then explore further when the published knowledge doesn't provide sufficient information, .

[Ralf11]

others write the books & papers that describe how the world works

World exists pretty much well without books and papers. Also, let others have some doubts regarding value and correctness of such descriptions.

Hmmm, yet mankind has used writing and books to record and pass on knowledge for many years, and to be honest the modern world wouldn't exist without books and paper...

Can't even remember, but then I don't carry grudges for so long, a decade or longer now? Will do a search later today on DIYAudio.

 Erin has no problem remembering this.

 There was some rather nasty stuff back then and not just from you, who IIRC wasn't nasty, just very dismissive  .

Things like Monks dipping their quills in blood (?) and transcribing the notes by hand.

 I got into a bit of strife by referring to one of the more nasty posters as a " Wayne Kerr"

 He didn't take too well to that, as it turned out that his surname was Kerr.

Would you require books to be able to love somebody? Do you need papers to be happy? Do you know you are pure bliss without anything written or even spoken? Sorry for possible OT.

Most banknotes are still made of paper.

Not in Canada or Australia. And I thought even the UK was switching to polymer banknotes.

Quite correct, and some other countries have also switched to plastic. However, euro and US dollar notes are still paper. I suspect those outnumber sterling, AUD, and CAD combined.

Maybe toilet paper would have been a better example.

In Venezuela they are worth about the same, and people have neither.
